Application led January 4, 1910. Serial No. 536,338.

To all whom 'it may concern.'

Be it known that I, BERNARD F. Roni-Imc,

a citizen of the United States of America,

residing at San Diego, in the county of Sanpowder pull', and will also prevent the pow! der from flying out of the box when the powder puff is pressed downwardly.

. It is a further object of the invention to provide a structure adapted to accomplish the foregoing objects and yet be capable of being applied tolany of the powder boxes on the market,

A furtherbject of the invention is to provide a structure comprising a perforated elastic disk which normally forms a closure for the powder box, together with means for supporting said disk at one height when the .powder box is full, or nearly full, of powder, and for supporting said disk at a lower point when the powder box has been partially emptied.

Further objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the detailed description which now follows.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a powder' box with my invention applied thereto, Fig. 2 is a view partly in side elevation and partlyin section, illustrating the position of the elastic disk before it has been depressed, Fig. 3 is a view like Fig. 2 but illustrating the posit-ion of the elastic disk after it has been depressed, Fig. i is a plan view of the struc ture shown in Fig. 2, Fig. 5 is a sectional view of al modified form, and Fig. 6 is a View like Fig. 5, but with the disk in a different position.

Like numerals designate corresponding an elastic extensible perforated disk which parts in all vof the figures of the drawing.

' Referring to 'the drawing,t he numeral 5 designates a pow'der box of the ordinary and usual construction,

In carrying out the invention, I' provide an elastic disk 6 having a downturned edge flange 7 adapted tobe snapped over the edge perforations 8 formed therein.

of any of the powder boxes at present upon the market. This disk has a plurality of A powder puff S) has been indicated in-dotted lines in Fig. 3. In this form of the invention, when the powder puff is pressed downwardly, the elastic disk stretches suiiicieritly to permit it to move to the position illustrated in Fig. 3, or in other words, far enough to permit the powder,A indicatced at 10 in Fig. 3, to be forced through the perforations of the disk 6, and to adhere to the powder pu 9.

In Figs. 5 and 6, a modified form ofthe invention has been shown. In this modied structure, the numeral 11 designates the powder box, and this powder box is provided wlth an internal rmg 12 which limits the downward movement of a second ring 13, said second ring carrying an elastic, perforated disk 14. When the powder box is full or nearly full of powder, the lid formed by the ring 13 and the disk 14, 'is placed in the position illustrated in Fig. 5, wherez the -objects of the invention, but while the elementsxshown and described are well adapted to serve the purposes for which they are intended, itnis to be understoodthat the invention is notlimited to the precise construc-h GOLDTREE 'disk acts in the same manner and serves the tion set forthifbut includes within-its purview such changes as may be made within the scope of the appended claims.

Having describedY my invention, what I claim is: j

1. The combination with a powder box, of

entirely covers said powder box, and means for securing said disk in position, said means extending entirely around the edge of said powder box.

2. Thecombination with a powder box, of a perforated elastic disk, a member to which ed to detach'bly engage said powder box.

said disk is secured, said member etuchably engagmg the upper edge of the powder box, -m presence of two Wltnesses.
